..."Theres one more to go," Sharapova told a news conference. "Im extremely happy with the way Ive progressed in this tournament. "I started off a little slow but Ive had a number of tough matches and Ive continued to improve." The Russian made 27 winners to her opponents nine and her serve, which can be inconsistent, was a weapon. The final will be a repeat of last years semi-final at the French Open, which Li won on the way to taking her first grand slam title. "That was a tough one for me and this is a tough match-up for me," she said. "Ive had tough battles against her but Im not looking back to that loss, though. Its about tomorrow." Neither player has dropped a set on the way to the final but Li said she would have liked to have had the chance to play Williams. "Of course Im happy to reach the final but I dont like winning like that," she said. Williams said she had pulled out "as a precaution" and expected to be 100 percent fit for the French Open, which begins on May 27. "If its not 100 percent its better not to play and make it worse," the world number six said. In the mens draw, Five-times champion Rafa Nadal wore down David Ferrer 7-6, 6-0 to reach the final. The second seed came from 3-1 down to win the first set and then ran away with the second to set up a final against either world number one Novak Djokovic or number two Roger Federer. Sixth seed Ferrer had the better of an 86-minute first set but could not push home his advantage as Nadal won the tiebreak 8-6. That broke Ferrers resistance and a dominant Nadal stormed through the second for his 12th straight win on clay over his fellow Spaniard. reuters"

..."After the last couple of weeks I have had, I am so happy to win," said Murray, who missed Madrid with a back injury.

..."It's a provisional ban, that's all we know," Belperio said by telephone. "We appealed to have the ban lifted so she could compete in China, but the appeal was unsuccessful. "It's been a bit of an emotional roller-coaster for her as you can imagine. "We need to find out more information to determine what actions we can take in relation to this ban." The 30-year-old Elmir was due to compete in the women's flyweight (48-51kg) category at the world championships, where a first-place finish among the Oceania boxers would have booked her ticket to London, where women's boxing will debut. She was regarded as one of Australia's strongest medal hopes in the sport. Boxing Australia had consulted ASADA before suspending Elmir on May 7, the anti-doping watchdog said. "The athlete appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the provisional suspension; CAS heard the appeal on 9 May 2012," it said. "The decision to uphold the provisional suspension was handed down on 10 May 2012." The full CAS hearing was yet to take place, the ASADA added. Boxing Australia declined to comment, but officials were distressed by the timing of the decision. "You have to wonder whether tortoises could have handed it down any quicker," said Tony Whelan from Boxing ACT in Canberra. "We would have hoped to have replaced her with the silver medallist, but of course there was no time to fly her over," Whelan said, referring to Kelly McGrath who was defeated by Elmir for the Australian title in Hobart. Kristy Harris, who was hastily slotted into the draw to replace Elmir at the world championships, was beaten in the first round on Saturday. Elmir's coach Garry Hamilton said the boxer had taken a tablet before the national titles to treat "swollen ankles" on a long-haul flight. "She's taken the substance, that's not denied, but she wasn't aware it was going to do what it did, it wasn't done to help her with her boxing," Hamilton told local media. "I really believe she's taken it for this medical reason, and only for this medical reason." reuters"
